Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Firefox got to infinite loop with cursor switching between 
pointer and hand when trying to click on one of 
{ login input, submit button, href-img, another tab } which 
were right next to each other.

I'll keep that infinite-loop process running for now, some 
gdb snapshots of what it is doing available at 
http://www.hut.fi/u/iheino/ff/ in case they could be useful.

Have also seen the cursor alternate between pointer and hand on 
a number of sites before, but then thought of that as just 
a (likely hard-to-trace) cosmetic bug and thus did not report this 
earlier. But since it is now in infinite loop, there could be an 
opportunity for debugging it. Next question is how to get more 
useful information out of it?
